I can't really help that right now as I need the computer generated wig and I'm too scared to buy lipstick (though it does look garish, ew now that i think more about it) but the rest really is all me, specifically the eyes and skin and face.
very garish the lip color, you can grow your hair out to that (if you have) or buy a beautiful natural wig. Even through the manipulation if so be it, you are quite passable when wearing a hair style similar to that.
The first thing I did in my transition process was go to wig stores (my hair eventually grew out ) and try them on. If your scared pretend your going to an event and you wanna be goofy or something. Seeing myself in longer hair, it gave me a boost of confidence (of course I never bought any, Sorry wig shop!!!).
As for lipstick, well you cant do everything in one day or night, took me a long time to feel comfortable in the womans clothing isle. Its just whats ingrained into our brains from birth. Deep breaths, don't be afraid to run away, but one day you might just suck it up and drive right through it. Going with a friend helps to.
I find buying stuff online to be too impersonal, and especially for lip color its something you want to try on in the story to figure out whats right for you.
